Imagine Siri being the central control for all sorts of devices. You could be notified when the laundry has been done. Or when your doorbell has been rung while you’re away from home (for all of you who expect UPS packages). An entire spectrum of uses that can’t yet be fully imagined.

An additional advantage would be Siri being local, not requiring communicating with Apple’s servers. A local Siri would store frequently-used commands and could still be useful even if Apple’s servers went down for some reason.

How would Siri be connected to things? I leave that aspect up to Apple. Let me just state that I am sick of wires and cables and connecting things physically.

While everyone is excited over Apple doing an Apple-ized large-screen TV, that idea bores the hell out of me. It’s still TV, with the same crap it has now.
